Technologies used were IBM MQ Series, Java, HTML, XML and C++. Our team was responsible for defining the architecture of key components of the system, as well as implementing key portions of it.

IBM Health Data Network choose Dhara to developed online patient chart system, using C++, DB2, AIX, HTML, HL7 and Perl technologies. This system maintains patient charts online and is used by huge hospital chains such as Columbia Presbyterian and University Of Washington’s Barnes Jewish Christian Hospitals.

Phar-Mor – Re-organization
During the creation of the successful plan of re-organization of the major deep discount retailer, Dhara consultants led a team of outside professionals in the implementation of category management in the firm.

Supply Chain Visibility POC
Working with an off-shore team of developers, Dhara Consultants led an effort to create a proof of concept and reference implementation of a supply chain visibility project that allowed companies to track and trace products from the original components’ shipment points in Asia through the ports and logistics handling including final assembly and shipment to the end customer in the United States. This implementation uses public and private registries, bar code symbols, global identifier’s, RFID codes and readers supporting EPCGlobal implementation standards and numbering.
Sales Pipeline Management
Working closely with the senior team for management, Dhara Consultants created a system that managed the pipeline line process from sales lead qualification to complete implementation. Scorecards for progress were created in a portal that presented information from the various systems inside of UCCnet in a “mash-up” from these systems so each participant in the sales and implementation process had their own up-to the minute view of progress.
Product Governance
Dhara Consultants worked with a core group of representatives from trading partners to establish an effective form of governance for the requirements and releases of the UCCnet Service in a way that met the needs of the user companies and provided an effective mechanism for release management and acceptance for a large user community of Global 500 customers. This was done in a way that included the representation of Commercial Solution Providers as well as small and medium enterprises in the process.
